Delirium
Walk into the fog, and take the deal it offers
Area contains a Delirium Mirror
Touching the mirror floods the area with fog. Everything inside it is harder and worth more, and the deeper you push the better it pays — so the whole mechanic is a bet on how far in you can afford to go.

Common questions
How many waves are in a Simulacrum in Path of Exile 2?
7. The Simulacrum is a fixed 7-wave arena run rather than an open map, and each wave can carry its own modifiers on top of the last.
What are Distilled Emotions used for?
They are Delirium's reward currency: you instil one into an item to add its modifier. They come in a rising ladder — the Diluted ones early, then the plain Liquids, then the Concentrated ones from area level 69 upward — plus Ancient (Time-Lost) versions of each.
What is a Grand Mirror?
Grand Mirror: contains a reflection of the map boss. It is the upgraded version of the ordinary Delirium mirror, unlocked through the Atlas tree.
